I would say the TikTok ban is not only unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds, but that it's also a Bill of Attainder: It punishes a [corporate] person through congress without a trial.
SAG-AFTRA is a union and their members negotiate with movie studios and tech companies who have expanded to being movie studios. While I can see how they would be concerned about an AI use such as this (after all, they had a strike about it), wouldn't that be a negotiation against a bigger corporation, such as Disney or Netflix, and not a small youTuber?
This response should go down in the Techdirt history books alongside:
-"Call it The Streisand Effect"
-"Protocols, Not Platforms"
-"Hello! You've been directed here because you're wrong about §230!"
-"Elon's Content Moderation Speed-running curve"
and more I can't name…
I feel that the best measure of a democracy is the way those in control treat the indigenous population.
On that measure, the US Department of the Interior gave the Prairie band of the Pawatomi Nation's land back: https://nativenewsonline.net/sovereignty/report-doi-places-prairie-band-potawatomi-nation-s-northern-illinois-reservation-land-into-trust
Imagine Nintendo doing anything like this. You simply can’t.
Not so fast. Keep in mind that Nintendo regularly licenses Metroidvania games (and other games from genres they created or popularized) on their platforms such as the Nintendo Switch.
So actually, I can easily imagine such a scenario, and I'm not John Lennon or his ghost.
You know what I think is the biggest threat to the MPA?
This: https://seedandspark.com/
It's a crowdfunding web site specifically for movies and film. Now, maybe it's a conspiracy theory I'm entertaining, but what if a revitalized SOPA could be used to take down a web site such as that, thus ensuring a monopoly for the MPA? I mean, I know that YouTube and Vimeo exist, but what seed and spark show (like Kickstarter and indiegogo before it) is that you can create an alternative model to the MPA. The fact is, we love their movies and we love their shows. We just hate how they abuse their employees and treat their customers. Now the customers can have a say.
I just realized that you said Florida should be returned to the Seminole. I completely agree with that. But then you said that you don't think there are any left, which is bullshit. For instance, Native American Filmmaker Sterlin Harjo is Seminole. Natives are still here, you just have to pay attention.
Believe it or not, there was once a time when Japanese culture was very open. Capcom put in an OC Remix OST in one of their video games and allowed OC Remix to give away the OST. Doujin Manga was prevalent and none of the Doujin Manga-ka were victims of litigation. What changed? Well, before, Japan didn't really have a lot of lawyers, so that's why copyright action wasn't taken, outside of Nintendo. But once there was legislation that criminalized copyright infringement due to trade agreements such as the TPP (which the US didn't sign but Japan did), that's when big companies such as Bandai Namco went after fan projects.
(This is not definitive but my interpretation)
An injustice anywhere is an injustice everywhere. If you want Florida to fuck off, then that means that you don't care about the innocent people who are stuck there, or even the liberals and other left-wingers who live there (like my sister and her fiancé).
Ah, thank you. To be frank, It was a quick google search. That being said, it really does say something when New York City residents feel safer in their own city than Winnipeg residents do in theirs, so I stand by my link.
Hmph. Maybe I'm wrong.
Another point of its lack of constitutionality
I would say the TikTok ban is not only unconstitutional on First Amendment grounds, but that it's also a Bill of Attainder: It punishes a [corporate] person through congress without a trial.
...and Universal just sicced a copyright claim on the video. This is why we can't have nice things.
Or the fourth option: a principled belief in Copyright Maximalism.
not copyright`

Fair enough.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Into the annals of Techdirt history!

Reminds me of a joke: "What do you call a person who doesn't practice law as it is but as they wish it would be?" "A law professor."
I'm not sure whether Allison Stranger's testimony indicates that she's extremely and willfully ignorant or is extremely and willfully mendacious.
Christ: "What a dumbass!"

Moving takes resources and not everyone can do it.
